THE EDUCATION COMPONENT OFFERS A SERIES OF EMPLOYMENT WORKSHOPS. WORKSHOPS ARE REPEATED REGULARLY AND TAUGHT FROM THE EMPLOYER'S PERSPECTIVE. MENTORING AND COACHING COMPONENTS CONSIST OF 4 PHASES. PHASE 1 COACHING FOCUSES ON EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION. CLIENTS MEET ONE-ON-ONE WITH A VARIETY OF VOLUNTEER BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS TO COMPLETE EMPLOYMENT TOOLS NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH WHICH INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING THEIR TRANSFERRABLE SKILLS, THEIR PERSONAL BREAKEVEN, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY GOALS. PHASE 2 MENTORING FOCUSES ON RESUME BUILDING AND POLISHING INTERVIEW SKILLS. BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS VOLUNTEER AS MENTORS TO HELP CLIENTS IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE JOBS, PREPARE FOR RESUME AND INTERVIEW COACHING SESSIONS, AND EXPLORE WHAT THEY LEARN IN WORKSHOPS AND EMPLOYER MEET AND GREETS. THEY HELP CLIENTS DEVELOP A JOB SEARCH PLAN, UNDERSTAND BUSINESS VOCABULARY, PRACTICE FOR INTERVIEWS, AND APPLY FOR JOBS. PHASE 3 EMPLOYMENT STRATEGIES SUPPORTS CLIENTS DURING THE FIRST 12 MONTHS OF A NEW JOB. THIS PHASE HELPS THEM NAVIGATE THROUGH THE LEARNING CURVE OF A NEW JOB, MANAGE THEIR PERSONAL LIVES, PREPARE FOR PROMOTIONS, AND MAINTAIN STEADY EMPLOYMENT FOR ONE YEAR. PHASE 4 WOMEN'S PROFESSIONAL NETWORK (WPN) FOCUSES ON GETTING AHEAD AND PROVIDES ONGOING EDUCATION, TOOLS AND TRAINING TO INCREASE EARNING POTENTIAL, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS TO GAIN LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND GROW THEIR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK. EVIDENCE OF NEED: UTAH IS RECOGNIZED FOR ITS VIBRANT AND DIVERSE ECONOMY AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE, HOWEVER, DESPITE SEVERAL SUCCESSES, THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES THAT REQUIRE COLLECTIVE EFFORT. THE US HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILDREN LIVING IN A SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLD THAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.1 IN THE UNITED STATES, ONE THIRD OF SINGLE MOTHERS LIVE IN POVERTY. IN UTAH, THERE WERE 70,600 SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES IN 2021, AND OF THESE, 69% WERE HEADED BY SINGLE MOTHERS. IN 2021, 48,878 UTAH WOMEN WERE LIVING WITH CHILDREN UNDER 18 WITH NO SPOUSE PRESENT. 25% OF UTAH SINGLE MOTHER HOUSEHOLDS LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF SINGLE MOTHERS IN UTAH IS ESSENTIAL IN CREATING PROGRAMS THAT HELP WOMEN THRIVE. SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR UTAH SINGLE MOTHERS ARE THE GENDER WAGE GAP, CHILDCARE COSTS, AND THE COST OF LIVING. IN UTAH, 62% OF MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX AND 51% OF MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN BETWEEN SIX AND 17 ARE IN THE WORK FORCE. AS OF 2022, 8.2% OF FAMILIES IN UTAH ARE LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. 24.2% PERCENT OF MOTHERS IN UTAH ARE THE SOLE OR PRIMARY BREADWINNERS FOR THEIR FAMILIES. ALTHOUGH WOMEN ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE WORKFORCE, UTAH HAS THE LARGEST WAGE GAP IN THE NATION. UTAH WOMEN WORKING FULL TIME EARN 73% OF WHAT THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS EARN. UTAH WOMEN ALSO ARE MORE LIKELY TO WORK PART-TIME (30%) THAN UTAH MEN (16%), MEANING THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE BENEFITS AND LESS ABLE TO INVEST IN LONG-TERM SAVINGS. CHILDCARE FOR ONE CHILD TAKES 14% OF THE MEDIAN UTAHN FAMILY'S INCOME, WHICH GROWS WITH EACH ADDITIONAL CHILD. THE MEDIAN INCOME AMONG UTAH SINGLE MOTHERS WITH KIDS UNDER 18 HAS LARGELY STAYED THE SAME FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, FROM 33,100 IN 2010 TO 37,900 IN 2020, EVEN THOUGH THE COST OF LIVING HAS CONTINUED TO RISE SIGNIFICANTLY. IN UTAH, 6.1% OF CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. 4.6% OF HOUSEHOLDS QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS AND 22% OF PUBLIC-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SCHOOL FREE/REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAMS. CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR MALNUTRITION, HOMELESSNESS, SCHOOL DROPOUT, DRUG ABUSE, TEEN PREGNANCY, AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. CHILDREN WHOSE FAMILIES RECEIVE WELFARE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ON WELFARE THEMSELVES. CONSIDERING THE GENDER WAGE GAP, THE COST OF CHILDCARE, AND THE INCREASE IN COST OF LIVING, THE JOURNEY FROM ASSISTANCE TO SELF-RELIANCE CAN BE DAUNTING FOR THE LOW-INCOME WOMEN AND SINGLE MOMS WE SERVE AT PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION: WHILE THERE IS NO ONE-SIZE FITS ALL SOLUTION TO THIS COMPLEX PROBLEM, WE BELIEVE THAT A GOOD JOB WITH GOOD BENEFITS WITH A GOOD COMPANY AND LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT CAN GO A LONG WAY IN HELPING SINGLE MOMS BECOME FINANCIALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT. WHEN LOW-INCOME WOMEN LEARN HOW TO FIND A GOOD JOB, KEEP A GOOD JOB, SEEK RAISES AND PROMOTIONS, AND EVENTUALLY EARN ENOUGH TO PAY THEIR BILLS, THEY CAN STABILIZE THEIR HOUSING SITUATIONS, AFFORD BETTER CHILDCARE, AND GAIN ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH THEIR EMPLOYER. THEY CAN ALSO PARTICIPATE IN COMPANY OFFERED TRAINING AND EDUCATION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP THEM BECOME MORE VALUABLE TO THEIR EMPLOYER AND INCREASE THEIR EARNING POTENTIAL. THE EMERGENCE OF FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES, JOB SHARING, AND REMOTE WORK HAS CREATED NEW, UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN TO RE-ENTER THE WORKFORCE, AND IN SOME REGARDS, HAS LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD AS THE MOVE TO ONLINE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS LOWERS BARRIERS TO DIGITAL EQUITY AND GENDER INCLUSION. HOWEVER, THE JOB MARKET HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE WITH SEVERAL JOBS NOW AUTOMATED OR UTILIZING AI, AND REMOTE WORK THAT OPENS THE CANDIDATE FIELD FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL. HELPING WOMEN RESOLVE THESE CHALLENGES, RE-THINK EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS, UPDATE EMPLOYMENT TOOLS, BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND NAVIGATE EMPLOYMENT BARRIERS HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT. POPULATION SERVED: OVER 64% OF OUR CLIENTS ARE SINGLE MOTHERS AND MANY RECEIVE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. 64% IDENTIFY AS WHITE, 16% AS HISPANIC/LATINO, 6% AS BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN, 3% AS ASIAN, 3% AS AMERICAN INDIAN, 2% AS PACIFIC ISLANDER, AND 6% AS OTHER OR MULTIPLE RACE. 100% ARE CONSIDERED LOW-INCOME BY HUD GUIDELINES WHEN THEY ENTER OUR PROGRAM. VOLUNTEERS, EMPLOYERS, & AGENCY PARTNERS: PHP MANAGES HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS EACH YEAR. APPROXIMATELY 150 BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS SERVE AS VOLUNTEER MENTORS, COACHES, AND WORKSHOP FACILITATORS. EACH YEAR, PHP INTRODUCES CLIENTS TO OVER 130 EMPLOYERS AT MONTHLY EMPLOYER MEET AND GREETS AND BI-YEARLY EMPLOYER OPEN HOUSES.
